Abstract excerpt
The time interval between HIV-1 infection and AIDS development is not the same in all patients and depends largely on the genetic background of the individual. Polymorphisms in the TREX1 gene, the main enzyme in the clearance of cytosolic DNA, affect type 1 interferon-mediated inflammatory response in HIV-1 infection. We aimed to study the role of a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs3135941) of the TREX1 gene and...
